Kick off (or wrap up) your New Year’s Eve at the Whatcom Museum!Whether you’re a night owl or planning to turn in early, swing by Old City Hall for an unforgettable evening. Enjoy live music by local band Baby Cakes, two cash bars with cocktails and beer courtesy of Chuckanut Bay Distillery and Structures Brewing, sweet treats from Pure Bliss Desserts, and three museum galleries turned into dedicated lounges.
You read that right: this year we’ll have DOUBLE the bars, TRIPLE the swanky seating, and we’re opening up an extra bathroom or two as well. Less time in a queue, more dancing for you!
Admission comes with one complimentary drink ticket and a free Champagne toast at 9 pm as we count down to 2026 alongside Times Square in New York City.
We are thrilled that last year’s inaugural party was a sell-out success, and we’re ready to raise the bar this December. We are excited to offer more bars, more bathrooms, and more seating for an even more better event this year!
6 pm: Doors open and bar service begins
7 pm: Live music by Baby Cakes
9 pm: Balloon drop and Champagne toast to ring in the new year
